How we price demolition →Demolition in Chelmsford: what to know
Chelmsford's a steady patch for us: extensions in Old Moulsham, new-builds at Beaulieu Park, and ongoing commercial collections in the city centre.
New building is concentrated in the Chelmsford Garden Community to the north-east, which takes in Beaulieu and Channels: more than 10,000 homes are planned in total, several thousand already have permission, and Beaulieu Park station opened there in October 2025. Near the centre, City Park West has replaced a former university campus. Older districts such as Old Moulsham and Springfield typically attract loft conversions and rear extensions. A 7.5-tonne weight limit covers the High Street, Moulsham Street, Springfield Road and New Street unless a permit is held, which affects skip lorries serving central sites.
For flats we carry everything down ourselves, and we check the lift, the stairs and where the truck can stop when you book. Send photos of the structure and the access and we'll send a free estimate for demolition, loading and disposal. If the job turns out different on the day, with more to take down or harder access than described, we agree any change with you before we start.
Domestic outbuildings rarely need permission, but check with Chelmsford City Council if the building is listed, in a conservation area or attached to a neighbour's wall. Asbestos cement roofs are removed first by a licensed contractor.
Half an hour up the A130. We work Chelmsford weekly, so same-day wait and load and clearances are usually possible if you book before 11am. Item collections come on our Tuesday and Thursday rounds, and skips, skip bags and the grab from the next working day.
